Government expansion requires money. Government doesn’t earn any of its own – it must take ours. Hence – taxes. Since governments’ desire to grow is pervasively ubiquitous – the fervent desire to increase taxes is pervasively ubiquitous.

When government demands more of our coin, the assumption is that every penny they already take is being used wisely and well. As we all know, that ain’t anywhere near true.

Governments like to ratchet up taxes in areas they’ve already planted their confiscation flag. But they REALLY like to find untaxed parts of the economy – and excise the daylight out of them. In the name of “fairness”for the crushingly-taxed economic sectors.

They are like the Francisco Pizaros of our wallets – the enticement and excitement of pillaging virgin territory is almost unbearable.

The Internet has for the most part been a tax (and regulation)-free zone. Thus it has become a free speech-free market Xanadu – the greatest and fastest expansion of human endeavor in history.

Instead of putting the same bill to the Senate, however, Reid has decided to attach it to a proposed law called the Marketplace Fairness Act (MFA). That bill, which first passed the Senate last year, would require online retailers to collect tax on sales they make to out-of-state consumers.

Imagine the dizzying new skyscraper-skyline tax heights that will be attained when uber-tax-happy places like California are no longer confined to taxing into oblivion just Californians. They’d have access to the wallets of every business – every person – in all fifty states.

…(O)nce ‘internet access services’are reclassified as ‘interstate telecommunications services’under the exclusive authority of FCC, it will be subjected to the 16.1% fee that’s currently applicable to such services.

So FCC’s ‘net neutrality’could result into the largest single tax increase on internet to date.
